This is the beautiful city where I live, as seen from the lake.
As I said, it’s a beautiful city. The neighborhoods are beautiful, the campus is beautiful, the downtown is beautiful, the lakes are beautiful. But the most beautiful view is from the lake. And that’s a view many, maybe most, people never see. I have only seen it a few times.
My point? Things look different from different perspectives. If you’re having trouble at work, try looking at it a different way. If you’re having trouble with an employee, or a patron, try looking at the situation from their perspective. Is there another way to solve the issue than the only one you’ve been able to see, from your perspective?
